Hi Jim:
I was reading your thread on the lug on drum scans & photoshoping files. I
bought a Nikon coolscan II scanner to do just what your taking about.
Unfortunately, I've been using it mainly for fpo's to date. The problem is
that when I scan in my transparencies they scan way to dark. I've tried to
tinker with the Nikon software to no avail. When I pale the scans in
photoshop they pixilate badly, some of the values remain dark & others get
lighter. 
My question is have you had any experience with Nikon scanners? Can you
suggest a way to get lighter scans with the Nikon software? Incidentally,
have you tried photo cd's, I've been told they are good to 11 x 14 in final
printed pieces if scanned properly. Can anyone recommend a good outfit on the
east coast that does decent kodack cd scans?
I'd appreciate any comments
thanks
Frederic
